As someone mentioned, "the cost of their soft cover books has gone up too". That's an understatement! Some of their books are over thirty years old-I have original and almost worn out editions that I still refer to-they were and are still good. But I question why they cost so much, since the originals were produced and the costs incurred years ago( for the research, writing, artwork, editing, photos, etc.) . Simply putting a new spiffy cover on an old publication-often a rehash of material that originally appeared in MR anyway, doesn't justify a 5 or 6 fold price increase. Let's not just accept inflation as inevitable-that's a cop out! How about some fresh material. . .If it's good, like "Model Railroad Planning" I'll probably buy it. . .
